Washington – This week, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) co-sponsored the Protecting Our Communities from Sexual Predators Act to deport and permanently ban illegal immigrants who commit sexually violent crimes. The bill was introduced by Congressman Vern Buchanan (FL-16) and co-sponsored by Congressman Byron Donalds (FL-19).
"‘Biden’s open borders have not only made a mockery of our laws but also tragic victims of so many innocent Americans. In every region of this country, illegal migrant criminals – including sexually violent predators – have inflicted unimaginable suffering and it’s time to fight back,’ said Congressman Issa. ‘The Protecting our Communities from Sexual Predators Act is a real solution that will detain, remove, and prevent future entry of illegal migrants who commit sexual crimes. I’m proud to join my colleagues Rep. Buchanan and Rep. Donalds in authoring this bill, working towards its passage, and ensuring our people are never victimized again.’"
"Illegal aliens who sexually assault and rape American citizens have absolutely no place in our society," said Congressman Buchanan. "Shockingly, illegal immigrants who commit sexual assault are not immediately deportable, which is why we need to pass this commonsense legislation to keep these deranged and dangerous predators out of our country and help protect our communities."
"Just days ago, a member of our Southwest Florida community was sexually assaulted by an illegal alien. Americans throughout all corners of our nation are bearing the perilous consequences of Joe Biden’s open border crime wave," said Congressman Donalds. "I stand with Rep. Buchanan to ensure that all illegal aliens who have been convicted of sexual assault are deemed immediately deportable. These shocking and completely avoidable crimes must come to an end."
The Protecting Our Communities from Sexual Predators Act requires detainment of any illegal alien charged or convicted of sexual assault, ensures that any illegal alien convicted of sexual assault is immediately deported, and permanently prohibits any illegal alien convicted of sexual assault from reentry into the country. The bill aims to address the issue of sexually violent illegal immigrants in the United States.
